Hello there! We are glad that you are here and to make your first day a little bit easier we have wrote this introduction that will guide you through your first steps as a new tech member.
Paperwork
It is very important to ensure that you have completed all the required paperwork and requests by the staff. This will allow us to be quicker and grant you permissions for the required tools and accounts. Please verify that you have completed and submitted all the necessary documentation.
